Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

What we collect

When you create a FeedBro account, we collect your email address and password (stored as a one-way hash, never in plain text). As you use the product, we store the RSS/Atom feed URLs you subscribe to, the interests you select, your Collections, and your reading state (read, saved, read later) for the articles those feeds publish.

We also keep a basic record of how FeedBro is used: the pages you visit on feedbro.com (with the page that referred you and your IP address), when you were last active in FeedBro or its browser extension, and the actions you take in the extension, such as opening or saving an article. We use this to keep FeedBro secure and to understand whether it's working for the people who sign up.

How we use it

Your data is used solely to operate FeedBro: fetching and displaying the feeds you subscribe to, remembering what you've read, and powering features like Discover and Search across your own library. We do not sell your personal data or feed subscriptions to third parties.

Third-party feed content

FeedBro fetches content from RSS/Atom feeds you choose to follow. That content is published by the respective feed owners, not by FeedBro, and is subject to their own terms. We sanitize fetched content before displaying it to protect your browser, but we don't control what those third parties publish.

Cookies & analytics

We keep cookies to a minimum, and we don't use advertising trackers.

Always on, because FeedBro needs them to work:

  • feedbro_session keeps you signed in (up to one year).
  • XSRF-TOKEN protects the forms you submit (for as long as your session).
  • fb_consent remembers your analytics choice, so we don't ask on every visit (180 days).

Only if you allow it: Google Analytics. With your permission, we use Google Analytics to see which parts of FeedBro get used, so we can improve it. It sets the cookies _ga and _ga_<id>, which last up to two years. Google processes this information on our behalf and may do so on servers outside your country; Google states that Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. If you choose "No thanks", Google Analytics is never loaded.

Changing your mind. Choose Cookie settings at the bottom of any page. If you withdraw your permission, we remove the Google Analytics cookies and stop loading it.

Sign-in protection. Our login and sign-up pages use Google reCAPTCHA to stop automated abuse. It is subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, and it isn't used anywhere else on FeedBro.

Browser extension. The FeedBro extension records the actions you take in it, such as opening or saving an article. In Firefox, it does this only if you allow the extension's data-collection permission.

Your rights

You can export your subscriptions as an OPML file at any time from Settings, and you can unsubscribe from any feed individually. Contact us if you'd like your account and associated data deleted.
